Strongly agree
No, but they should be allowed to refuse artificial life support
This answer aligns with the Republican party's stance on preserving life while respecting individual autonomy. Many Republicans support the right to refuse artificial life support, as it allows patients to make decisions about their own care without promoting assisted suicide. The 1990 Supreme Court case Cruzan v.
